What is recorded here
Single-arch hump back road bridge over railway line, built 1893-4; opened 1894; extant 1897. Part creeper- or ivy-covered tuck pointed snecked rock faced limestone walls between drag edged rock faced cut-limestone piers with drag edged rock faced cut-limestone stringcourses supporting parapets having lichen-covered drag edged rock faced cut-limestone coping. Single segmental arch with drag edged rock faced limestone ashlar voussoirs. Sited spanning uprooted railway line with unkempt grass embankments to railway line.
A bridge identified as an integral component of the late nineteenth-century civil engineering heritage of the outskirts of Newport on account of the connections with the extension of the Mayo Branch of the Midland Great Western Railway (MGWR) line (opened 1894) by the Midland Great Western Railway (MGWR) Company with the architectural value of the composition confirmed not only by the rock faced dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the now-uprooted railway line.
